The concept of shape-shifting snakes is very interesting and captivating hence the TRPs. But the story? It was repetitive. Remember Naaginn on Zee TV? It's basically a remake with a small twist - Shesha's ulterior motive and the revelation of the 5th murderer. The story could have been much better with a new concept altogether. Love-n-vengeance are seriously boring us to death. The romance scenes were very cheesy, unnecessary and time-consuming. The series was fast paced initially which made it interesting but slowly it got slower. Balaji must have invested a lot more on the VFX rather than Sudha CHandran's over-the-top make-up. Dance sequences were poorly shot although the over-all cinematography was commendable.Sound mixing was really good.All the actors were average. Introduction of mindless stuff like "ichhadhari squirrel and peacock" took away all the interest.

The story is kinda naive but the acting is really good, production is good, direction is superb, but the editors need to learn where to use which background music. The love story is enchanting and it brought tears to my eyes. But to be honest it's not very different from a typical Indian drama - someone or the other is always in the hospital, there's a lot of courtroom drama and numerous vamps are introduced in the story line to keep the TRPs high. The vamps play dirty games and the main character Feriha just goes trough all of it like the helpless damsel in distress. The first part of the show is nice as it's about class hierarchy, lies and the power of love but later on things go haywire. It's more or less like the Turkish version of any Ekta Kapoor blockbuster. Although the actors are beautiful, the story is not that logical, although very captivating. Hope you found this review helpful!
